Imagine hiding behind children like this. Imagine being this small and cowardly. You craven little shitheel.
You want people to stop drowning out the choir with their boos? Leave the room. Walk away. Show the tiniest speck of grace and walk away. They're not booing the goddamn choir.
But of course what you want is to dismantle democracy in your state AND ALSO be free from criticism while you do it. So you hide behind children.

One more thing on youth voting: There are a lot of folks in my mentions saying kids aren’t cognitively developed enough to vote. But it’s not clear to me what that means.
At 12, the typical kid is more than able to meet baseline standards for voting—understanding what an election is, learning about candidates, managing the act of voting.
When we bar kids from making choices they’re not mature enough to make, it’s generally because we’re worried that they’ll do harm to themselves or others if allowed to choose.

Just saw something on my feed that reminded me to remind you that if you’re a NYC (or vicinity) high school or middle school teacher and you’d like me to come talk to your students, all you have to do is say so and I’ll be there.
I've spoken with NYC middle school students about the history of youth activism, how they can make change themselves, whether we should lower the voting age—all sorts of stuff. And the conversations are always really lively.
And because it's so much fun, and because it's a subway ride away, and because I know that y'all don't have budgets for this stuff, I'm happy to do it for free. So shoot me a message if you want to set it up.

Politico says Dems we’re “livid,” but quotes critics saying the comment was “not helpful” and not language I would use,” and saying “people should cool their jets.” “Livid” is a laughable overstatement.
No congressional Dem is going to praise that quote, but I’m not seeing anyone willing to criticize it in any but the most anodyne terms. If you’re going to do a reaction piece, that’s your story: “Dems shrug off Tlaib’s remarks.”
In addition to not being a lie, a “Dems to Tlaib: ‘Meh’” piece has the virtue of being at least vaguely counterintuitive.

there are plenty of rumors that spread around about park chanyeol, but no one really knows the supermodel that well. not as well as baekhyun does.

although he's merely a guy who drives chanyeol around to wherever he needs to go, he's the only one who knows how chanyeol truly is.
baekhyun is the only one who knows what chanyeol truly likes.

the jokes that make him laugh, the alcoholic drinks that would make him fall asleep in the car.

the songs that he prefers to listen to while he holds onto his girlfriend's hand in the backseat as baekhyun drives.
there are vile rumors that say he's an arrogant, manipulative model who lied his way into the modelling industry.

though, to him, chanyeol is kind to everyone.

there are fake rumors that spread with the intention to bring his career down.

an alleged child, a cheating scandal.

@VictoriaLIVE @ProfRWinston @Aisleyne1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews Let's look at A's reasons for voting #Leave:
"Us being able to fix our our problems. I think the #NHS, our teachers are underpaid, and I believe that we put so much money into the EU."
a) We CAN fix our own problems. Public services are 100% managed by own Govt —

@VictoriaLIVE @ProfRWinston @Aisleyne1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews — except the bits Govt privatised! The EU does not interfere with how our Govt runs the NHS or its education policy or the police force, etc.

The competences of the EU are defined by treaty. They tend to be issues that extend beyond national borders.

/2.
@VictoriaLIVE @ProfRWinston @Aisleyne1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews Typical areas include trade, environment & security.

Think about it. When was the last time you heard the #NHS complaining to the EU abt underfunding? Or schools complaining the the EU abt kids going hungry? Never. They complain to our Govt cos' OUR GOVT is responsible.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.

Damon gets the sudden urge to check to phone and demands Katherine give it back to him. YESSS READ YOUR DAMN MESSAGES. Its like he got this feeling something wasn't right
"You are going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
AAGSHD he will risk to life for Elena. We all been knew. But truthfully, he would have for Kat too. He did and he died in 1864.
He wouldn't do it for Katherine NOW, obviously.
